As the New Year approaches I wanted to do several top 10 countdowns to highlight our top posts of the year and to honor our most active members.

TOP LISTS WILL INCLUDE:

1) Top posts of the year, as determined by you, our loyal readers - based on # of views

2) Top contributors based on # of posts

3) Top contributors based on # of thanks

4) Top contributors based on # of NEW threads started.

There are 3 days left in the year so I'm breaking our top 10 lists down as follows:

Monday #10, 9, 8

Tuesday #7, 6, 5

Wednesday: New Year's Eve we'll feature our top #4, #3, #2 and #1

So here we go... the next post will highlight our top #10, 9, 8 posts and members of the year!
